That's funny, could they also punish my ISP for giving me 30Mib/s but when I run a speed test it magically shows that I should be getting over 160Mib/s? I don't think anyone but the government should be allowed to run the infrastructure cuz this is criminal
Also if I don't do the speed test it drops all the way down to 996Kib/s but I have to keep doing the speed test to keep it fast enough
Which sites are you using? TestMy.net is usually a good benchmark when your ISP is attempting to game things. Netflix’s fast.com is a good measure to see how well you can stream even if other traffic is throttled. Cloudflare’s test is a good measure of well you’ll be able to hit most of their infra. Many ISPs and majors (eg Google) just white label the Ookla speed test which is one I really don’t trust. On Spectrum I’d get an order of magnitude difference between Ookla and TestMy. However, collecting all of the tests will give you a good idea of the spread.
